Nice initiative! The bad name alone might be enough to sink it though.

Yeah, I'd at least rename to Privo. Or PrivoSearch.

Are you really going to say that about an industry where the other search engine names are..

Ask Jeeves, Google, Bing, SearXNG, DuckDuckGo, Lycos... ?

Google is silly yet understandable, but who on earth came up with Bing? Oh, yeah... Microsoft

But you forgot the worst of them all: Yahoo!
